Video: Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan Together + He Denies Knowing Candy-Deep-Throat

From the website theybf.com, Matt Barnes' folks sent them a statement denying that he knows the prostitute named Candy Deep Throat.
(The prostitute went on Twitter claiming she was the one who broke up his engagement. Story)

Matt, of course, replied back on Twitter. But in a more official statement to the website The YBF, his people sent this:

“Matt Barnes does not know this so-called prostitute named ‘Candy’. All her allegations are false. She is personally attacking Barnes to gain fame and popularity.”

Also, Gloria and Matt went on KTLA to promote the "Basketball Wives" show they are on:



*OK. Then...if you are better than the show...why are you on it?*
I'm just saying

UPDATE: Tweet: Matt Barnes vs Gloria "Basketball Wife" Govan

Matt and Gloria

Last week Matt Barnes was arrested on domestic violence charges that we suspect were with ex-fiance Gloria Govan.




And then he tweeted this:

“U know any domestic violence situation 9 outa 10 times the man gets arrested. That’s the case here I was the victim but still got arrested. No matter what I say people are gonna think what they want…”

So then, of course, a court date is set...it was yesterday.
But the night before he was due before the judge...he tweeted some PR friendly photos of how good of a dad he is...spending time with his boys.

And the twitter message was:

"Isaiah and Carter want to learn the triangle offense.”

UPDATE: 

A judge has approved a prosecutors' request for a delay to determine whether to bring domestic violence charges against Lakers swingman Matt Barnes, according to reports.
At Barnes' arraignment in Sacramento, the prosecutors' request for a delay until Oct. 18 was agreed to by the judge.

Off Season: Matt Barnes Slaps Coaches

Matt Barnes

Matt Barnes made news today for slapping up another man. The brand new Lakers player confirmed today that he slapped an assistant coach at a summer league game yesterday:

According to two fans who were at Monday’s championship series opener and spoke to FanHouse, Barnes — who was arguing a call with an official during the third quarter of a contentious game — slapped an assistant coach of the Gold Rush team after a brief verbal exchange. The coach, according to a report on the web site Sports by Brooks, was Rick Lewis.
Having already diffused several “minor tussles,” as one of the fans who spoke to FanHouse said, the officials conferred and assessed double technical fouls and let all involved continue play. Barnes told FanHouse on Wednesday night that the coach’s taunting in his ear caused him to lose his temper but said he should have handled the situation differently.
“Some people do too much or talk too much, and there’s only so much you can take,” said Barnes, who does not expect the coach to pursue a lawsuit. “It’s hard. It’s definitely hard when the refs have it out for you, saying ‘Oh, you’re in the NBA, so you don’t get this (call) and we’re going to call this.’ Then the coach is talking and completely disrespecting me.
“It’s frustrating, but at the same time I’ve got to keep my composure because I’m a professional and I get paid to do this. I lost my professionalism for a little while, but I regained my composure and we won a championship tonight.”
